A new biopic titled 'Killing Gawker' is in production, focusing on Hulk Hogan's legal battle against Gawker over the publication of a private sex tape. Directed by Gus Van Sant and produced by Ben Affleck and Matt Damon, the film features Affleck as Hogan and Damon as Peter Thiel, who funded Hogan's lawsuit. While Hogan has expressed indifference towards the project, reports indicate he may pursue legal action if the film infringes on his privacy rights. Hogan's infamous lawsuit resulted in a $140 million jury award, leading to Gawker's bankruptcy. Currently, Hogan is enjoying a positive phase in his life, focusing on new business ventures and charity work, and has had no communication with the film's producers. The screenplay adapts Ryan Holiday's book 'Conspiracy: Peter Thiel, Hulk Hogan, Gawker And The Anatomy Of Intrigue', indicating a serious approach to the sensitive subject matter.
